Good Effect of Burns's Conviction.

The conviction and sentence of James Burns
to two years Imprisonment in the penitentary
seems to have had wholesome effect upon sa-
loon-kespers, for few OF them attempted to vio-
late the law yesterday. Those who did sell had
their places so we'll guarded with watchers and
alarm bells that the police were unable to gain
admittance. Under the instructions of Superin-
tendent Travis the names OF the frequenters of
such places are being .aken and will be pre-
scented to the new grand jury the first week in
January. But arrest was made yesterday.
The man who allowed himself to be caught is
John Fisher, bartender for Thomas Burns. at
the corner Of Illinois and Maryland streets. The
arrest made by patrolmen Werick and
Miller, who. dressed in citizens clothes, eluded
tha cuards.

Robbing of a Grave.

Yesterday afternoon q gentleman and three
ladies passing through Greenlawn Gene
terry where they discovered that a newly made
grave had been opened. and the body removed
The fact was reported to the old colorei Sexton,
Turner, who after inspecting the grave, said
it was that of Oliver P. Mortin Cardwell, the
young deserter from the regular army, who COM
mitted suicide last Tuesday. The robbers had not
reflled the grave, and the spade used in open
ing it even left standing in the place OF the
headstone. Turner said that the last time he
noticed the grave was on Thursday evening. and
it was then undisturbed. The grave To-
Gated near the river. and it was an easy matter
for the body to be removed without discovery.
The matter was reported to the police, but un
less the relatives of the dead man should request
it. no effort will be made to learn where the
body went to. The deceased had relatives in
the city, except aunt. and IL is possible that
an investigation will not be demanded.

that would keep his secret. Again
he offered me his coat, which was y
good one. SO I.asked where the articles
could be got. He said. In Holloway
Road now it was past nine O'Clock. l
said would 90 with him and see what
could be done; and away we went at
full speed. He entered a small marine
store. and came out Immediately with
a sad face-thcy had none. He thanked
me for my kindness: said l had acted
like gentleman and Christian, and
could do no more. Iasked where was
the nearest place at which he thought
they could be got. He said they were
sure to be found down near the Angel.
l said ! would trust him. gave him four
shillings; and with a gush Of gratitude.
he thanked me and said would see him
on Saturday at half-past two sharp.
When half across the street. he turned
back and said he had nothing to eat
tlrat day-could I let him have a cop
per to get bit Of bread! l gave him
twopence.
He never appeared on Saturday; but
friend to whom mentioned the cir
cumstance, when in Croydon about
three months afterwards, saw a letter
in 4 local paper-which he sent me
describing this rascal. and stating that
he had called on several persons in that
neighborhood and succeeded in getting
money from each Of them nv the same
ingenious story.
The result Of my experience leads me
to say to every one: Make it rule
never to give on the spot or instant to
any applicant not known to you; ask
the address and getinquiries made; and
be sure that you know what you arc
doing before you give. Seek out the
deserving poor; they rs rule, do not
come to seek aims; yet you may find
them and your gifts will do both you
and the recipients good-you, rs much
as them.-Chambers' Journal.
